When Do Not Disturb is turned on, open the Control Center from the upper right-hand corner of the screen (iPhones with Face ID) or the very bottom of the screen (iPhones without Face ID). If you see a Moon icon that is white and purple, it means Do Not Disturb is on. Select the icon to turn it off.
